Port 8080? That's not what I want.

I’ve installed MAMP and Wordpress.
Worked like a charm (THANK YOU BitNami!)
But…

It’s installed itself in a way that I’m not so keen on.

I’m running Leopard Server with Apache + MySQL already installed. I can view my web docs at:
http://site.mydomain.com/
I want my Wordpress installation to be at that URL. (not http://site.mydomain.com:8080/Wordpress)

I didn’t see any options during install that would let me change the install location.

How can I do this?

Hi,

On Unix systems like OS X or Linux it is necessary to have root privileges to bind ports lower than 1024. If you want to install your Stack using the 80 port you should run the installer as root user:

$ sudo ./bitnami-mampstack-(version)-osx-installer.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh

The Apache port will be 80 by default (8080 if you run the installer as a regular user) but if this port is binded the installer will ask a new port.

I hope it helps.

So just to make sure I understand… I should uninstall Wordpress and MAMP and then Reinstall MAMP using the command line in Terminal and then I will be able to install on port 80 and then reinstall Wordpress as regular user?

What will happen with Leopard’s Server Admin panel. See screenshot at: http://screencast.com/t/WCO5iZCje
Will I still be able to Start and Stop Apache and MySQL through here?

You should install the modules as root user. Currently the Stacks have their own servers yo you can not manage using the Leopard Server Admin panel. You can use a great BitNami control panel. Take a look this post: http://bitnami.org/article/managing-your-servers-with-the-new-graphical-interface-beta

You only have to click in “control” to see this panel.

Cheers.

I have the installer on my server’s desktop. I renamed the Installer to MAMP.app I opened Terminal and typed:
cd desktop
to get to the desktop where the file was. Then I typed:
sudo MAMP.app/Contents/installbuilder.sh
I was prompted for my root password which I entered. I then got the error
sudo MAMP.app/Contents/installbuilder.sh: command not found.

What did I do wrong?

You should type this command:

$ cd desktop
$ sudo ./MAMP.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh

Cheers.

Ok I got the right command entered this time. (oops) but the installer running as root still could not bind to port 80.
Then I realized I needed to stop the current web service running on port 80 first. After that it installed ok.

However I still have http://site.mydomain.com/Wordpress/wp-admin instead of http://site.mydomain.com/wp-admin

How can I correct this?

(Thank you for your help here by the way.)

Ok I’ll give those a read.

In the meantime… It looks like I may have spoke to soon about everything working with wordpress. Although I can create posts, if I try to upload anything I get what looks like a permissions error…

Is this because I installed as root?
